Art Part

Well I got up still in my creative mood and thought I know I will make a start on my CC2 challenge only to discover that I did not have the Picket Fence mix and the challenge does say by the book.

So then I had to have a little retail therapy to buy some and a few more items some how found there way in my basket, opp's.

I decided to tackle an Art Part square. I have had a couple of packs of Art Parts for sometime but they scare me a little. I love what Wendy Vecci, Hel's Sheridan and Linda E all do with Art Parts, but think it is a little out of my comfort zone.....................But remembering why I started the blog in the first place I began.

After a lot of flappin and procrastination I made this little "thing"

What did I do and use.

Cover the frame in Tissue Tape

Gave a liberal covering of Picket Fence Stain

Covered that with Brushed Corduroy

Covered the trim in Picket Fence Stain, then decided to use Espresso Paint Dabber. Still was not happy so covered that with Snow Cap dabber and wiped most of that off to give me a grain effect. Added copper brads and Mother of Pearl little tiny hearts

Art Mixed Media Workshops

About Me

Hi my name is Sue. I love to mess around with paints and inks and sometimes on the rare occasion I produce a piece of art! I also scrapbook and make a few cards, but most of the time I just push paper around my craft table and make a mess, but it is my mess!
Welcome to my world of procrastination.
